Welcome to PractiCORR 2027 Conference

the international conference on practical aspects of corrosion protection and coating solutions!

 


The event will take place on November 24-26, 2027 in  Poland

and will bring together experts, engineers and practitioners from around the world.



Infrastructure and industrial assets are expected to operate longer, under more demanding conditions and with greater pressure to reduce environmental impact and life-cycle cost. At the same time, the energy transition, offshore development, hydrogen technologies, energy storage, nuclear projects, digital inspection and defence resilience are creating new corrosion and fire-protection challenges.
PractiCORR 2027 will bring together the people who design, specify, manufacture, apply, inspect, maintain and research protective systems. By connecting these perspectives, the conference will support better technical decisions, more durable structures and safer industrial practice.

The Polish Corrosion Association, together with the European Federation of Corrosion, invites you to the conference, among other things, where we will jointly consider:
 

MISSION

 

Our mission is to improve the durability, safety and sustainability of structures and industrial assets by promoting open exchange of experience, reliable technical practice and cooperation across professional and national boundaries.

 

The Polish Corrosion Society, together with the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC), invites you to participate in a conference during which we will explore the following topics:

 
 

1. EDUCATION AND INFORMED DESIGN

During the conference, particular emphasis will be placed on informed structural design that takes into account the need for corrosion protection and passive fire protection (PFP).

 

2. ECOLOGY AS A CHALLENGE OF TODAY

We must not forget about the impact of our activities on the environment. Modern protection technologies must be in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. The conference provides a platform to discuss the ecological aspects of structural protection and seek solutions that minimize the impact on the planet, such as solvent-free coatings, low-VOC technologies or renewable raw materials.
 

3. DIFFICULT CHALLENGES OF THE PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Petrochemicals remain one of the most challenging application areas for protective technologies. Aggressive corrosive environments, extreme temperatures and high risk of fires require innovative solutions. Invited experts will present the latest research and success stories in this challenging field.
 

4. NEW CHALLENGES IN STRUCTURAL PROTECTION

Nuclear power development, energy storage, wind farm construction and other critical infrastructure structures are fields that require adapted protection strategies. These problems present challenges, but also opportunities for the development of breakthrough technologies. Conference participants will have the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and innovations in these industries.
 

5. INTEGRATING SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY FOR INNOVATION

To meet these challenges, our goal is to bring the scientific and industrial communities together to design cutting-edge technologies for structural protection. Working hand in hand, we can create solutions that not only meet today's needs but also meet the challenges of the future. We want to inspire participants to discover new perspectives and jointly seek answers to the most difficult questions in the field of structural protection.

 

We believe that together we will create an event that will not only bring inspiration and new knowledge but also initiate cooperation that will change the face of structural protection in Europe and the world. I invite you to attend the conference and join the leaders of future-oriented protection technologies.

 

WHY PARTICIPATE?

  • Exchange of experience: you will learn the best practices and latest technologies used by industry leaders from different countries

  • Networking: you will meet professionals from around the world and make valuable contacts

  • Learn how to finance you r&d endeavours and seek for partners

     

 

THE BEST PRESENTATION AND THE BEST POSTER AWARD

During the conference, there will be a competition for the best presentation and the best poster, with valuable prizes. We invite you to participate. 

 

WHO IS THIS CONFERENCE FOR?

  • Engineers and technicians involved in structural preservation and protection

  • Specialists in corrosion and corrosion protection

  • Inspectors of corrosion protection

  • Representatives of companies producing paints, varnishes and equipment for anti-corrosion work

  • Those responsible for maintaining road, industrial and marine infrastructure

  • Scientists cooperating with industry
     

EXHIBITION

At PractiCORR2027, you will have the opportunity to learn about the latest products and services presented by leading industry exhibitors.

This is a great opportunity to see the newest technologies, talk directly with manufacturers and suppliers and find solutions that can improve your work.
 

WHAT MAKES PRACTICORR DIFFERENT

  • A strong focus on implementation rather than purely theoretical results.

  • Case studies that include constraints, mistakes, corrective actions and lessons learned.

  • Participation of the complete protective-coatings value chain.

  • Integration of corrosion protection and passive fire protection.

  • A programme covering both established industrial practice and emerging applications.

  • Polish–English communication supported by simultaneous translation
